Do you think joined Trill have to eat more than unjoined Trill on average? Like if someone was pregnant and eating for two

if you ever wonder how open secrets about terrible behavior fester in Hollywood and nothing is done, there’s likely no one more qualified than the great @moryan.bsky.social to break it down. Here she is on Jared Leto and Hollywood’s post #MeToo playbook [gift link]:

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”
People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall.

Any Old English academics out there who can help with a translation? I'm trying to write "Welcome to _____" for a sign in Old English. I can find some interpretations of "welcome" but I'm not sure if they can be used in this function. ...
I somehow forgot that Neelix ran a morning news show on Voyager and this fact delights me.
AI event flyers are ruining my life cause I didn't know I had so many friends with bad taste
I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Elite Dangerous is such a great game for open, self directed gameplay with flying around in space. You can play solo, just with friends, or fully online. It is an absolute steal at these prices and worth every penny. Go out and lose yourself in space for a bit!
Elite Dangerous has a big summer sale on right now if you've been interested in diving into space exploration! I'm recording and editing a boatload of YouTube videos, coming next month! store.steampowered.com/developer/Fr...

LOL at Scots in Boston adorning statues with traffic cones though as per our very sacred tradition 🤣
Question: If I was to record and post my Elite Dangerous gameplay on a channel, would folks be interested in that? Minimal amounts (if any) of me talking, just relaxing exploration? I mostly just explore and take biological samples.
Hi everyone...I'm back! Since I stepped away, my lovely spouse got diagnosed with, and treated for, non-Hodgkins Lymphoma...he was part of a clinical trial w/ a great team & finished chemo last month. Oh, I also got to work on a new show that I'm excited to share with you all! Eventually!

Last year I made an edited version of Home Alone 2 (yep, just cutting out that one scene as cleanly as possible) and let me tell you, Current Me is very proud that Past Me put in that work and now I have it every holiday season, happily edited.

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin
There are, as of this moment, 969 episodes of Star Trek. If a new one doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure there's something in the literal month-long runtime of previous series you can enjoy silently by yourself. To quote MST3K -- repeat to yourself, "it's just a show, I should really just relax."
This is a phenomenal video and I encourage everyone to watch it. It is 2 hours long, but absolutely worth it.
New video today! Why Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other wanna-be Silicon Valley gods love to cosplay Star Trek, all while stealing the very future they idolize from us all. “How Tech Billionaires Turn Star Trek into Fascism” youtu.be/V-7Spf1cLpU
For most of us we've written our specs. We've written MANY. We have great samples. We have good feedback. We KEEP WRITING. The problem? No one is reading. Rooms will not read lower levels. As such, agents will not read us because they can not get us work. We're writing specs for an army of one.
I finally got some clarity on this, so sorry for the delay but it's not actually me who did the advising on PLURIBUS (though I would have LOVED to work with that team!). It seems to be an immunologist named Erin McDonald. It's wild that there are two of us doing TV science consulting!
Ahhh the legendary Vince Gilligan calling out my bestie @drerinmac.bsky.social on the official Pluribus podcast!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
